Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Neeko wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Xin Zhao's 33.3%, giving Neeko a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Neeko dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Damage
870Neeko
726Xin Zhao
Neeko heavily out-damages Xin Zhao by 144 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Xin Zhao should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Neeko's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,513Neeko
11,671Xin Zhao
Neeko and Xin Zhao generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 158 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.6Neeko
0.8Xin Zhao
Neeko brings significantly more crowd control than Xin Zhao, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Neeko far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
597Neeko

Xin Zhao vastly out-sustains Neeko, healing and mitigating 1,169 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Xin Zhao can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Neeko is forced to recall.
